Youran Mountain Village

Phew!

With a crisp sound, the sharpened bamboo was directly inserted into the water, and then with a splash, a fat grass carp was directly pierced by the bamboo.

"Big Yellow, you're so powerful!" The little girl behind Lin Chen was carrying a small bamboo basket, four or five years old, with two bun heads tied on her head, the small bun head was tied with a bright red head rope, it looked pink and jade, a pair of bright big eyes hung on a somewhat baby fat face, it was the kind of cutie that anyone who looked at it couldn't help but want to pinch their cheeks.

At this time, a yellow figure flew into the water, this is a yellow earth dog, it used the dog planing quickly to come to the bamboo, bite the bamboo and pull it ashore.

"Rhubarb here." The little girl ran over with the small bamboo basket in her hand, wanting Big Yellow to put the fish in her bamboo basket.

The big yellow dog shook its tail, the little girl saw this and quickly stopped, quickly turned around and wanted to run, but unfortunately it was still late, I saw the big yellow dog flicked sharply, and the water droplets on the fur scattered, like small rainbow beads in the sun.

"Wow, bad rhubarb...!" The girl patted the water droplets on her body, pinched her waist with both hands, and said with her eyes wide.

The big yellow dog immediately wagged its tail and leaned over, put the bamboo and fish into the bamboo basket together, and then stuck out its tongue and arched the little girl's cheek with its head, and the tail wagged like an electric fan.

"Don't do this next time, hee-hee, rhubarb is so itchy!" The little girl tilted her head to avoid Big Yellow's head and giggled.

Lin Chen smiled, grinned and did not speak, but held his breath, his eyes were as sharp as an osprey, and continued to search on the water.

He is twenty-four years old this year, one of the few strong men in the village now, most of them choose to go to the big city to work, like him after school and return to his hometown, can be said to be an outlier, let alone come back, with a daughter.

At this time, the surface of the water reflecting the light seemed calm, but the prey could appear at any time, and suddenly a black line appeared on the surface of the lake, which was the black back of the grass carp.

The sharpened bamboo was thrown out of Lin Chen's hand again, instantly piercing the surface of the water, and the whistling sound was sharp like a whistle, almost breaking the air and sneaking into the water. By the time it floated up again, the tip of the bamboo had penetrated a grass carp.

The grass carp twisted its body hard, wanting to fall off the pillar, and the big yellow dog in the little girl's arms wanted to rush into the water again and pull the grass carp ashore, but the little girl grabbed the big yellow dog's tail.

"Don't go!" The little girl said with wide eyes.

The big yellow dog smashed the bar aggrievedly, his tail was dragged, and his four legs were anxiously plucked, but he didn't dare to use force, for fear of bringing the little girl down.

At this time, Lin Chen's wrist shook, it turned out that there was a thin line tied to the bamboo, and the fish and bamboo were directly dragged ashore by him, and the little girl saw this, only then let go of the big yellow dog, and the big yellow dog immediately rushed over excitedly.

Syllable......!

Big Yellow was accidentally slapped with its tail by a dying grass carp.

"Woof...!" As if he had suffered some strange humiliation, Big Yellow shouted at the grass carp that was trying to twist his body, and kept changing directions, making a killing motion, as if he was facing some powerful enemy.

"Haha, Dalin, you see that Rhubarb is so stupid, ah...! Bad rhubarb on purpose. The little girl first giggled, then screamed, it turned out that Rhubarb flicked his fur, and the water droplets that had not been thrown clean just now, hit the little girl like raindrops at this time.

Lin Chen stepped forward, coiled the dog's head, calmed Big Yellow, and then got the grass carp off the bamboo, and the little girl took the bamboo basket and caught the fish in Lin Chen's hand.

"Stinky rhubarb, go back and don't give you meat!" The little girl said to Big Yellow with a wrinkled nose, and then turned her head and said, "Dalin, you are too powerful, but these fish are so stupid, they drilled out and let you prick." "The little girl's big eyes turn into two cute arcs, and cute can humanize.

Lin Chen rolled up the thin line on the bamboo and said with a smile: "It's not that the fish are stupid, it's going to rain, the air pressure is too low, and the oxygen in the water is not enough, so these fish risk showing their heads out to breathe, otherwise they will be suffocated."

"I don't understand!" The little girl clasped her hands around her chest and pouted.

Lin Chen cried and laughed, shook the bamboo basket behind him, and said to a woman in the distance, "Mom, you take Duoduo back first!" I went up the mountain to pick some bamboo sun, wild shiitake mushrooms and the like to replenish the body!

"Dalin, you're going up the mountain again?" Lin Duoduo pouted and said.

"Call Daddy." The woman nodded her granddaughter's nose and said helplessly, but as a result, Duoduo just lowered her head and dangled her small bamboo basket, but did not respond to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen sighed helplessly, touched his daughter's head, and said to the woman, "Mom, don't force her, Duoduo her... Alas!

The woman shook her head helplessly, and Lin Chen said, "If I come back late in the evening, you guys will eat first!" Don't wait for me.

"Okay, we can eat late, come, baby granddaughter, go home with grandma." Lin Chen's mother He Yulian took her granddaughter's little hand, rare no, ten miles and eight towns, who can be as cute and beautiful as her granddaughter, this little person, why is it so likeable!? It makes people feel that they can't kiss enough!

The only thing He Yulian feels uncomfortable about is that her son has been back for more than half a year, but she doesn't say a word about her daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know what happened to the little two.

"Dalin, go home early, don't wander outside!" The daughter raised her head and said to Lin Chen like a little adult.

Lin Chen was crying and laughing, this little guy learned her grandmother's speech, he bent down and rubbed his daughter's little bun head, and then kissed his daughter's forehead.

"Obey, Princess Kobayashi!" Lin Chen smiled.

Duo Duo wiped her hands on her forehead a few times, stuck out her tongue at Lin Chen, and grimaced.

The old mother He Yulian took Duoduo home, and Lin Chen took Rhubarb up the mountain, although the weather was not very good, but Lin Chen was not worried about anything, Rhubarb is the best hunting dog, as long as it does not enter the deep mountains, it is almost invincible.

This is not bragging, rhubarb is a pure-blooded Taihang dog, bred in the land of Taihangling for more than two thousand years, in ancient times and hunters in the mountains to make a living, is really hard with wolves, a few Taihang dogs together, even if it is a wild boar, dog bear, they dare to touch, quite fierce.

Hearing the owner talk about himself, Big Yellow immediately jumped on the spot a few times, and whimpered at the fish teeth in the bamboo basket, showing his bravery, until Lin Chen patted it on the door of the head, then happily wagged his tall tail and licked Lin Chen's palm with a warm tongue.

Lin Chen picked up a bamboo basket and whistled, and Big Yellow hurriedly followed Lin Chen's footsteps, and on the mountain it was the master's guard.

"Dalin, I'll leave you food, Rhubarb protects Dalin!" Lin Duoduo took her grandmother's hand and shouted loudly.

"Woof!" Big Yellow turned his head and wagged his tail, as if in response to Duo Duo, and then quickly caught up with Lin Chen.

Up the mountain, Lin Chen immediately took off the cloth shoes, the laces hung directly around the neck, walking around the mountain barefoot, now the weather is gloomy, the mountain dew, high humidity, wearing shoes and skating the same, accidentally is a butt squat, not as convenient as bare feet.

Holding a firewood knife to open the way, Big Yellow followed closely behind, not coming for months, the surrounding changes were too great, the vines cut before climbed all over the surrounding branches again, and the fallen leaves piled on the ground, it was impossible to see that there had been a road cleared here, without the marks Lin Chen made before, it was almost impossible to find the original place.

Lin Chen while cleaning the vine branches, while picking some wild fruits, wild strawberries, wild cherries, are what his daughter likes to eat, wild fruit pulp is less, but the sweet and sour taste is very full, especially wild cherries, eat a sour, can make the teeth sour, but after slowing down the sourness, I can't help but stuff another one into my mouth, I can't stop at all, when I think of my daughter's eyes narrowed by acid, Lin Chen wants to laugh.

"Woof...!" Rhubarb stopped in front of a dead tree, wagged his tail, and arched the dead wood with his nose.

Lin Chen walked over and saw that it was a large cluster of wild black fungus, this thing tasted good, put a little when I went back to stir-fry, and ate it in the mouth crisp and delicious, full of flavor, rhubarb had seen himself pick wild fungus before, so he would pay attention.

"Good man, well done." Lin Chen praised, and touched Big Yellow's head again.

Big Yellow opened his mouth to breathe, squinting his eyes to enjoy the touch of his master, and the expression looked like he was laughing.

Soon Lin Chen and Big Yellow came to a dilapidated temple, this is the mountain temple on the Taihang Ridge, built when everyone was still living in the mountain before, the mountain hunters will worship the mountain god before hunting, ask for protection, this is what every family has to do, to make a living on the mountain, it is impossible not to fear the mountain god, so the incense of the mountain temple was very strong at that time.

Later, after the reform and opening up, in order to get rid of poverty and become rich, everyone moved down from the mountain, and the mountain temple was abandoned, but it was finally a place to live.

The ruined mountain temple, the two large gate panels have long been unknown where to go, walking into the mountain temple, Lin Chen according to the tradition taught by his grandfather, prepared to worship the mountain god first.

When Rhubarb shuttled through the forest, his body was stained with a lot of dew, and he felt uncomfortable at this time, and when he flicked it, the water on his fur was almost thrown, but Lin Chen was thrown on his face.

"Big Yellow, you brat, you really did it on purpose, right?" Lin Chen grabbed Big Yellow and ravaged its dog's head, but Big Yellow stuck out his tongue and looked like he was enjoying it, and he felt that this was the owner playing a game with himself.

Letting go of rhubarb, Lin Chen really had no way to take it, he divided a part of the wild fruits and fungus in the bamboo basket.

He cleaned up the dusty shrine, and then respectfully put down the wild fruit and fungus, the previous rule, mountain people rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, but they can not eat alone, to divide the harvest a little to worship the mountain god, no more, a little can be, which represents the reverence of the mountain god.

It's just that now it is a scientific society, there are fewer people who believe in this, and generally there are not many people going up the mountain, let alone worshiping, otherwise the mountain temple would not be ruined like this.

"Grandpa Mountain God, please bless my family with a better life and a healthy and healthy growth!" Lin Chen arched his hand, thought about it and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, grandfather often told Lin Chen to fear the mountain gods, because the ancestors can pass on their bloodlines to this day, all rely on the offerings of this Taihang Ridge, for them, Taihang Ling is like a parent.

Kneeling on the ground, Lin Chen felt unprecedentedly religious, but before he could raise his head, he heard a thunderous explosion outside the mountain temple, and then an electric light danced in front of his eyes.

Lin Chen barely looked up, only to see that on the gray face of the god statue, a pair of eyes seemed to have opened, and a symbol like a lush tree on his forehead flashed with light, and then the god statue shattered in the thunder.

"Ugh!" Before Lin Chen could react, he felt a pain in his chest, and something seemed to have crashed into his body.
